Alderman
Tiernan
.
"
I
'm
talking
for
compensation
for
the
privileges
we
expect
to
give
.
"
A
Voice
.
"
You
're
talking
for
your
pocket-book
.
"
Alderman
Tiernan
.
"
I
do
n't
give
a
damn
for
these
cheap
skates
and
cowards
in
the
gallery
.
I
say
treat
these
corporations
right
.
They
have
helped
make
the
city
.
"
A
Chorus
of
Fifty
Voices
.
"
Aw
!
You
want
to
treat
yourself
right
,
that
's
what
you
want
.
You
vote
right
to-night
or
you
'll
be
sorry
.
"
By
now
the
various
aldermen
outside
of
the
most
hardened
characters
were
more
or
less
terrified
by
the
grilling
contest
.
It
could
do
no
good
to
battle
with
this
gallery
or
the
crowd
outside
.
Above
them
sat
the
mayor
,
before
them
reporters
,
ticking
in
shorthand
every
phrase
and
word
.
"
I
do
n't
see
what
we
can
do
,
"
said
Alderman
Pinski
to
Alderman
Hvranek
,
his
neighbor
.
"
It
looks
to
me
as
if
we
might
just
as
well
not
try
.
"
At
this
point
arose
Alderman
Gilleran
,
small
,
pale
,
intelligent
,
anti-Cowperwood
.
By
prearrangement
he
had
been
scheduled
to
bring
the
second
,
and
as
it
proved
,
the
final
test
of
strength
to
the
issue
.
"
If
the
chair
pleases
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
move
that
the
vote
by
which
the
Ballenberg
fifty-year
ordinance
was
referred
to
the
joint
committee
of
streets
and
alleys
be
reconsidered
,
and
that
instead
it
be
referred
to
the
committee
on
city
hall
.
"
This
was
a
committee
that
hitherto
had
always
been
considered
by
members
of
council
as
of
the
least
importance
.
Its
principal
duties
consisted
in
devising
new
names
for
streets
and
regulating
the
hours
of
city-hall
servants
.
There
were
no
perquisites
,
no
graft
.
In
a
spirit
of
ribald
defiance
at
the
organization
of
the
present
session
all
the
mayor
's
friends
--
the
reformers
--
those
who
could
not
be
trusted
--
had
been
relegated
to
this
committee
.
Now
it
was
proposed
to
take
this
ordinance
out
of
the
hands
of
friends
and
send
it
here
,
from
whence
unquestionably
it
would
never
reappear
.
The
great
test
had
come
.
Alderman
Hoberkorn
(
mouthpiece
for
his
gang
because
the
most
skilful
in
a
parliamentary
sense
)
.
"
The
vote
can
not
be
reconsidered
.
"
He
begins
a
long
explanation
amid
hisses
.
A
Voice
.
"
How
much
have
you
got
?
